With Our Labor and Sweat: Indigenous Women and the Formation of Colonial Society in Peru, 1550-1700 by Karen B. Graubart, Karen Leonard

From the Publisher

“This book presents a new and very needed view of indigenous women in colonial Peru. Graubart's study gives us a complete and complex vision of these women by examining their lives through the economic and legal transactions recorded in their testaments.”—Kimberly Gauderman, University of New Mexico
“Graubart's dedication to detail and close analysis highlight the topic of female agency in a male-dominated colonial world. The writing and organization are clear. This study is a welcome addition to the literature on the formation of colonial society, and the role of women in particular.”—Susan Elizabeth Ramirez, Texas Christian University
